During a war or large scale military operation what are some of the best things for a person living in chutz l'arertz to do? Is saying tehillim and doing extra chesed enough? Should a person run to Israel and join the effort? Is there a middle ground?

@DoubleAA does that mean quit my job and join the IDF? Is that a chiyuv?

By the time you were trained enough to do anything helpful, the war will probably be over and then we'd have another jobless poor person on our hands. (Not to mention I don't know your age and health.) Do whatever you can that is helpful based on your situation. Everyone is different.

What part of doing lots of mitzvos is not a torahdik response?

I think @DoubleAA is 100% correct. The best thing you can do is Daven, learn, do Hesed and get close to Hashem.
